Default Jlr MONGOOSE cable

Hello everyone
looking for some advice on this cable I purchased
it came from a diagnostic shop that was Closing down
not expensive only cost $40
I have read that some clone cables can cause damage to modules
Just wanted to know if it safe to use to program
as still learning jlr software
But have a friend who works for jaguar who said he will teach me how to use software

I Decided to open cable up and found this in side
2nd picture

Thanking you
Darrol

I can’t say if it’s real or clone because I’ve never taken my cover off mine to see if they have the same stamp, but I’ve been using my clone for years now and as long as you have the right battery charger hooked up, it worked without failure

I haven't taken the cover offy clone either, but it looks exactly like this. That being said, seems an odd place to put a copyright?

If I get the urge, I might take Biden apart to look. But I know mine is a clone and I know mine works, so I’m kind of hesitant to destroy it by accident.

Well, that makes it easier to tell the difference if you have a long cable that’s the real thing. Mine is a tiny cable maybe 4 feet long at the most probably less.
